Photovoltaic solar panels and hydropower installation

The surface area of hydropower reservoirs around the world has the potentialto host more than 4.4GW of floating PV panels at 2% surface coverage, generating around 6,270TWh of electricity. This is key for small nations with limited land availability for utility-scale solar installations, such as Singapore. Hydropower. Countries around the world are adopting policies to support the deployment of hybrid hydropower solar systems to increase their renewable output and meet growing electricity. If you are evaluating locations for a solar power project, RatedPower can help. Our platform uses optimization and automation to find smarter ways to design PV plants. Contact us for a demo.
